SNOW MEANS MORE DAYS OF SCHOOL

States across the country are now depending on anti-icing techniques and road weather information systems (RWIS) to make winter road maintenance more efficient and less costly in terms of equipment and crew time. However, because anti-icing/RWIS concepts are still relatively new, standard training programs for all levels of anti-icing/RWIS users have not been available. A new initiative recently launched by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the Federal Highway Administration, and a pooled-fund research program known as AURORA, whose members include state highway agencies and international partners, aims to fill this gap by developing a new nationwide training program for anti-icing/RWIS. The project's goal is to develop an interactive, computer-based training program that will have three operating levels: one level for equipment operators, one for supervisors, and one for middle managers.
